Arizona Supreme Court Chief Justice Ruth McGregor stirred up a hornet`s nest by endorsing a demand from the Hispanic Bar Association to censor words and phrases such as "illegal aliens" and "illegal immigrants" and substitute "foreign nationals" in court documents.

Then, when a blog at Judicial Watch reported on the instructions, court officials threatened to sue the government-watchdog organization, prompting its release of a statement defending the story.

The original report said the chief justice had agreed to forward to judges the Hispanic Bar`s demands to alter the language in court opinions and documentsâ€¦

One does not need to go all â€™60-ish and Marshal McLuhan-ish to see this is an attempt to stifle debate. Eliminating the right to use specific words cripples opposition. What is intellectually â€“ as opposed to polemically â€“ objectionable to â€?Anchor Babiesâ€??

Interestingly, it appears that Chief Justice McGregor is part of an Arizona Judge clique endeavoring to destroy local initiatives trying to repair the damage caused by Arizonaâ€™s illegal immigration influx. Local leftists are concerned that efforts to stop the Establishment self-perpetuation system for selecting State Judges might break this barrier.

Chief Justice McGregor has been mentioned as a Supreme Court Judge. No one with such a disdain for the Rights of Englishmen deserves her current position, much less promotion.

McGregor, as is common with Judges, arrogantly shields herself and her court from public comment.
